Energy and the Environment
Examine the tension between energy production and consumption and environmental conservation with the latest edition of this widely read text
In the newly revised Fourth Edition of Energy and the Environment, the authors deliver an insightful and expanded discussion on the central topics regarding the interaction between energy production, consumption, and environmental stewardship. The book explores every major form of energy technology, including fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear power, wrapping up with chapters on how energy usage affects our atmosphere, and the resulting global effects.
The latest edition includes new figures and tables that reflect the most recent numbers on conventional and renewable energy production and consumption. The history and current status of relevant U.S. and international governmental energy legislation is discussed along with the text. Readers will also find:
- A thorough introduction to the fundamentals of energy and energy use in industrial societies, including the forms of energy, scientific notation, and the principle of energy conservation
- A comprehensive exploration of fossil fuels, including petroleum, coal, and natural gas, along with their history, world production, and remaining future resources
- Discussion of the pros and cons of nuclear power, it's rise in China, and it's fall elsewhere, and a history of power plant accidents
- A practical discussion of heat engines, including their thermodynamics, energy content of fuels, and heat pumps and engines
- In-depth examinations of new innovations and rapidly increasing use of renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy, along with updates on battery technology and alternative energy storage techniques
- Detailed discussions of the atmospheric effects of our energy usage on scales both local and global; reports from the International Panel on Climate Change; the carbon budget, carbon capture and storage, and geoengineering
Perfect for either graduate or upper-level undergraduate students of physics, environmental science, and engineering, Energy and the Environment is also an indispensable resource for anyone professionally or personally interested in climate change, energy policy, and energy conservation.

**能源與環境**
**透過這本廣受歡迎的書籍最新版本，檢視能源生產與消耗與環境保護之間的緊張關係**
在新修訂的第四版《能源與環境》中，作者提供了對於能源生產、消耗與環境管理之間互動的中心主題的深入且擴展的討論。本書探討了每一種主要的能源技術，包括化石燃料、可再生能源和核能，並以能源使用對我們大氣的影響及其所造成的全球效應的章節作結。
最新版本包含了反映傳統與可再生能源生產和消耗最新數據的新圖表和表格。書中討論了相關的美國及國際政府能源立法的歷史和現狀。讀者還將發現：
- 對於工業社會中能源及其使用基本原理的徹底介紹，包括能源的形式、科學記號及能量守恆原則
- 對化石燃料的全面探討，包括石油、煤炭和天然氣，以及它們的歷史、全球生產和未來剩餘資源
- 對核能的利弊討論，包括其在中國的興起及在其他地區的衰退，以及電廠事故的歷史
- 對熱機的實用討論，包括其熱力學、燃料的能量含量，以及熱泵和引擎
- 對可再生能源來源（包括太陽能、風能、水能、地熱能和生物質能）新創新和快速增長使用的深入檢視，並更新電池技術和替代能源儲存技術
- 對我們能源使用對當地和全球規模的大氣影響的詳細討論；來自國際氣候變化小組的報告；碳預算、碳捕集與儲存，以及地球工程
《能源與環境》非常適合物理學、環境科學和工程學的研究生或高年級本科生，也是任何對氣候變化、能源政策和能源保護有專業或個人興趣的人的不可或缺的資源。
